Testimonials
Mezipatra (Prague, Czech Republic)
Eventival dramatically helped us in managing festival workflow and administration as it offers tools for all aspects of festival organisation from the moment you start researching films up until you process data for the final report. Yes, Eventival helps in the most important thing: keeping the sh*t together. The greatest reward in choosing Eventival for all-in-one festival management system is that its creators have a detailed knowledge of how a festival is made happen. And they keep getting better at it as they listen to how you do things and what you need and use what you tell them to keep improving the thing. Go get it.
Kosmorama Trondheim International Film Festival (Trondheim, Norway)
During my period as Festival Manager at the northernmost film festival in the world in Tromsø, Norway, from 1998-2004, I struggled to try to create the optimal system to organize and coordinate the film booking and print-coordination. When I, in 2004 was asked to share my experiences when they started to plan a film festival in my hometown, I wrote a memo called the ”Dream-tool”. It never became more than a dream, it was too expensive to develop. Now in 2011 I’m working as Head of Programme at Kosmorama IFF in my hometown Trondheim, Norway. This year the ”Dream-tool” just popped up. The team at Eventival has created my ”Dream-tool” and added a lot of new possibilities I hadn’t thought of. And at a very reasonable price. Eventival makes the best job in the world even better.
Nuremberg International Human Rights Film Festival (NIHRFF) (Nuremberg, Germany)
We have been using Eventival to coordinate our film selection and to improve communication between the members of the selection committee. It has helped us to simplify and streamline our workflow a great deal and we are looking forward to using it for all other aspects of our festival organisation. What also impressed us is the fast responses we get from the technical support whenever we have a question or suggestion.
Durban International Film Festival (Durban, South Africa)
Eventival is a dynamic system that will continue to grow and improve the processes of the Durban International Film Festival. Interactive and easy to use and with around the clock assistance when problems are encountered, Eventival has proved useful to DIFF.
Giffoni Film Festival (Giffoni valle Piana, Italy)
We were the first festival to use Eventival in 2009 when it was far from completed, but it already helped us a lot with the management of guests, films and our thousands of child jurors (imagine managing the work related to 2 800 kids!) ... The people who work with Eventival, including their multilingual programmers, were available when we needed them ... I am sure that festivals that decide to use Eventival will be happy to work with them.
Black Nights Films Festival (Tallinn, Estonia)
Black Nights Film Festival was the first to start using Eventival 2.0 to its full extent. Despite still being under development, Eventival already shows its great potential of being a widely functional 'brain' of a major event. The creators and always-available IT-support guys who have almost become part of our festival staff are a pleasure to work with.
Reykjavik International Film Festival (Reykjavik, Island)
Eventival has been a great asset to our festival throughout the complete preparational period. It has simplified and centralized our work, as well as giving us a greater overview of the whole festival and each staff member’s assignment. Despite being quite complex Eventival is easy to use and transparent. In addition, we have found the creators of Eventival to be dependable, friendly and their attention to detail is important to our festival.
Brno 16 (Brno, Czech Republic)
The system may seem complex at first, but it is very logical and intuitive. Small bugs are always dealt with immediately by the programmers who seem to never sleep: virtually every issue we have encountered was solved at once. Although Eventival 2.0 is still in development, it has already become a 'full time member' of our festival team.
Apichatpong Weerasethakul, film director (Chiang Mai, Thailand)
I'm so impressed with Eventival. Sleepless nights for the festival staff are over ... hopefully!
